Phil Neville insists Liverpool are still not nailed on for fourth place despite Everton’s defeat at Fulham on Sunday.

In fact, the Toffees star is so confident there are more twists and turns to come that he is not even pinning his hopes on brother Gary’s Manchester United beating the Reds on Sunday.

Neville, whose side host West Ham on Saturday, said: “There is no extra motivation needed in Liverpool v Manchester United games.

“Teams will drop points whether you are going for the league title or the Champions League.”

“We are hurting now, of course, but next week brings a whole new set of fixtures.”
